Food You Can Eat: Chewy Coconut Macaroons

My "artful" arrangement of cookies looks more like a blob - please use your imagination to picture delicious individual cookies.

This recipe is from Taste of Home. The cookies are shockingly good for the minimum amount of effort required to make them. I gave some to our dog groomer, and she said they were delicious!

Ingredients

  • 2-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 can (14 ounces) fat-free sweetened condensed milk
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons almond extract

Directions

In a bowl, toss the coconut, flour and salt. Stir in milk and extract until blended (mixture will be thick and sticky).

Drop by level tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 300° just until golden brown, 18-22 minutes. Cool for 2 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks.
